Hello everyone, just thought I would come out of lurkedom and say hello. After a couple of weeks of surfing the site, loving it and bingeing I officially started calorie counting today. I have a long way to go and several issues to work on but I can do it with help and accountability.
I have never really tried to lose weight until a few years ago. I have always been the big girl my whole life. I grew up with just my mom and sister so to help my mom feel unguilty I was allowed to do anything I wanted, which meant food was my best friend. I put a bubble around myself so my weight was never really an issue. I guess after becoming a nurse and a mom for the second time I wanted to be healthy so I tried low carb off and on and finally buckled down last year to lose 45 pounds. I haven't been on plan since Halloween and I maintained my loss until recently when I started having problems with depression and binges. I have always fought depression but it tends to come back every once in a while with a vengance. I have known for weeks I really need to do something about it but just kept eating. Well my size 18's are starting to get tight so I decided to calorie count so I could enjoy some favorite foods and try to incorporate healthy foods too. Well so far I ate 1150 calories today but nightfall is coming and that's my downfall. I am trying to stay busy and keep temptation at bay.
Thanks for reading and all the inspiration!!!!
